Specifications are preliminary and are subject to change without notice.
In general, to exit from the current menu/mode the user can press the OFF key; this will bring the user
back one step.
For example, using the diagram below, pressing the SELECT key while on hook in idle mode will bring up
the “REDIAL MEMORY” menu. Subsequent presses of the ▲▼ keys will allow the user to navigate
through the other menu items. If the user presses the SELECT key when the menu item “REDIAL
MEMORY” is displayed, the user will enter the redial memory function. Pressing the ▲▼ keys while in
this menu will allow the user to review the last 5 numbers dialed. Pressing the OFF key anytime while
within this state will return the user back up to the “REDIAL MEMORY” main menu item. Subsequent
presses of the ▲▼ keys will allow the user to navigate through the other menu items. Pressing the OFF
key will exit the user from the main menu and return the user to the idle mode.
3.2.3 Mode Timeout
The handset will have a built in menu display timeout feature whereby if it detects that no key has been
pressed within 30 seconds, it will exit the current menu item and return to the appropriate on hook idle or
off hook state. The exception to this is when the phone call is placed on hold. If a call is on hold, the call
will remain on hold until the user manually takes it off hold or cradles the handset.

3.3.2 Post-Seizure Dialing (Off-Hook) or Live Dial
Post-Seizure dialing or Live Dial refers to a mode of operation where the user goes off-hook or seizes the
line before entering the phone number or recalling a number from memory to be dialed. This type of
dialing is the normal method used in most corded telephones.
Live Dial or off-hook mode is indicated by a solid block cursor as shown in the example display below:
In Live Dial the user can only recall telephone numbers from memory. No programming/editing functions
are allowed in Live-dial.
When the user takes the phone off hook without pre-dial digits on the display, the message ‘PHONE ON’
will be shown.
The IN USE/CHARGING LED on the base will be lit GREEN to indicate the handset is in use and the
telephone line is off-hook. As the user manually enters digits the corresponding DTMF tone will be
generated and remain on for the duration the key is held when the dial mode is set to TONE , or, if the dial
mode is set to PULSE, the pulse digits will be dialed. A KEYCLICK will also be generated to acknowledge
the user of the manual entry.
3.4 Using SELECT or PHONE key When Recalling Numbers From Memory
The cordless telephone supports “What You See Is What You Get“ (WYSIWYG) dialing when a user
recalls any dialing memory location while in pre-dial mode and presses the PHONE key instead of the
SELECT key.
This feature allows the user to scroll through any memory recall locations (e.g. CID Recall, Last Number
Redial and Speed Dial) and select the number to be dialed. By pressing the PHONE key when in pre-dial
mode only, the number as shown on the recall display will be dialed exactly as shown. This feature
prevents any dialing errors caused by accidentally leaving digits on the pre-dial display prior to making the
memory recall selection.
If a user wishes to recall a memory location for further editing in pre-dial mode, the user can always press
the SELECT key to recall the number and append it to any digits already entered on the display prior to
the memory recall.
